Glycosylation in the thyroid gland : vital aspects of glycoprotein function in thyrocyte physiology and thyroid disorders [PDF]
The key proteins responsible for hormone synthesis in the thyroid are glycosylated. Oligosaccharides strongly affect the function of glycosylated proteins.

Serum biomarkers of papillary thyroid cancer [PDF]
Objective To identify serum biomarkers of papillary thyroid cancer. Methods Prospective analysis was performed of banked tumor and serum specimens from 99 patients with thyroid masses. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to measure levels of five serum proteins previously demonstrated to be up-regulated in papillary thyroid cancer ...

ACR‐TIRADS Institution and Effect on Thyroid Surgeries in Veterans: A 10‐Year Retrospective Study
Following analysis of the adoption of ACR TI‐RADS at the VA Northern California Healthcare System, the number of thyroid ultrasounds and FNAs increased substantially, while the total number of thyroid surgeries remained relatively stable. Surgical practice trends towards more selective and less‐invasive management, with fewer total thyroidectomies for ...

Synchronous primary papillary breast cancer, medullary thyroid carcinoma and neuroendocrine tumor in postmenopausal woman. [PDF]
Multiple endocrine neoplasia are syndromes involving two or more endocrine tissues, often correlated to RET proto-oncogene mutations. We herein present the first reported case of a 57-years-old woman with three synchronous primary cancers of breast ...

Sarcoidosis mimicking metastatic papillary thyroid cancer
Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic, idiopathic disease. It has a highly variable clinical course. It has been reported to present in association with malignancy. Coexistence of sarcoidosis and thyroid cancer is rarely reported in the literature.We present a case with neck swelling for 3 months, and symmetrical painless thyroid enlargement without fixation ...

Data‐Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry in Tumor Classification and Cancer Biomarker Research
Abstract Cancer treatment is far from optimal also because current classification systems do not reflect the complex molecular status of the tumor and its phenotype in sufficient detail. To construct molecular tumor classifiers, omics tools provide complex molecular data reflecting many aspects from genotype to phenotype.

ABSTRACT Molecular diagnostics have become an important adjunct to ultrasonography and fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) for thyroid nodules, especially in Bethesda III/IV cytology where malignancy risk is uncertain. This narrative review summarizes the diagnostic and prognostic value of key genomic drivers (BRAF V600E, RAS, RET, TERT, and selected fusions)

Mutational Analysis in Pediatric Thyroid Cancer and Correlations with Age, Ethnicity, and Clinical Presentation. [PDF]
BackgroundWell-differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC) incidence in pediatrics is rising, most being papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The objective of the study was to assess the prevalence of different mutations in pediatric WDTC and correlate the ...
